===== Woodshop Dust Separation =====

====Proposal Type:====
  * Micro!

====Submission Date:====
31/10/21

====Current Status:====
Passed!

====Proposer:====
Matt G

====Description: ====


This microproposal is a sort-of "add-on" to my Woodshop Extraction Proposal.

This proposal is to try out inserting a dust separator just upwind of the extractor. These things theoretically drop 95% of the dust drawn through them into a bucket, so that it never reaches the extractor itself. 

Hopefully this means easier emptying, no clogged filters, and no gradual reduction in suction power.

====Proposed Purchase: ====
The proposal consists two things:
- [[https://www.rutlands.com/sp+dust-collection-dust-separators-dust-separator-kits-dust-separator-kit-rutlands%C2%AE+r8549|A dust separator "kit"]] - basically a pair of flanges that you attach to the lid of a sealed bucket.
- [[https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-fermenting-bin-lid-25l/p/0022555|A cheap bucket with a well-fitting lid from wilkos]].

====Budget: ====
£45

====Funding source/model: ====
  * full funded by Hackspace
